St. Paddy's Day Circle Skirt

I don't do many holiday shirts for my kids, but St. Patrick's day is a must. My mom

has always bought my daughter lady bug shirts, brushes, etc, so it's kind

of become her 'thing'. This year I found a cute lady bug St. Patrick's Day

shirt and was thrilled when I found the same green lady bug material!

I wasn't planning on making her a skirt, but after finding the material

I just 'had' to!

She loves it and looked absolutely adorable for our Irish celebrations.

Felt Heart Garland

A few days before Valentine's Day I decided my mantel could use a little something else. So I found 

this tutorial and set about to make my own!

To make this project you need:

*felt of any color

* yarn of any color

*a heart pattern

Cut out your desired number of hearts and arrange them in your

desired pattern. Then string a needle with your yarn and 'sew' the 

hearts together!

So easy and simple. And truth be told, it is still hanging on my mantel. :)

Large Shopping Bags: Gifts for Christmas

I stumbled upon a pattern sale at Hancocks and these shopping bags were on the top of my list! They turned out quite large, but I love the fabrics!

Finish Something I Start #12: Crocheted Head Band Warmers

I bought a pdf pattern for these years ago, and have now forgotten where I got

it from! I finished and wore these a lot this winter!

The pink one on the left was a gift for my niece.

Christmas Day Round-up

We decided to make our gifts for each other this last Christmas. I have a bit more organizing

to do, but all in all it turned out great! We are already looking forward to doing 

it again this year!

The kids made these pillowcases for each other. Tutorial found here.

My oldest sewed his all on his own, and my #2 did it with just a little help!

My husband made each of us a para-cord bracelet.

The kids and I made this for my husband. :)

The kids and my Husband made this stool for me.

A gift for my gallery wall from my Hubby.

Teepee ~ A Christmas gift

It's been awhile since Christmas, but I just wanted to make sure I got all of the gifts we made for the kids documented. 

My husband whipped out this lovely teepee for the kids in just a couple of nights! He's a very

talented guy...sometimes I wish I could be more like him!

The kids have enjoyed many naps in this and have used it for their many play pretend

adventures. 

Super Hero masks!

I had a lot of fun whipping up these cute little super hero masks! Hopefully a few little boys and a little girl will be pleased to get these for Christmas this year!!
